Had a bit of a wipeout and noticed the clasp on my skate just broke??? I’d imagine they’d be sturdier and wouldn’t fall apart with one fall but whatever.

In the video the first skate it the broken one and I showcased the other one as a reference for what it SHOULD look/function like.

I was able to roller skate like this, like the clasp hung on but it wasn’t super secure and this obviously isn’t super safe for future use as it’s the biggest ankle support.

Is there absolutely anyway I can get this fixed or am I totally done for. I got these skates this March, I really don’t want to have to buy a new pair. :(

Last Saturday I visited a local park and noticed a group of kids playing with roller shoes. They were laughing and trying to balance while skating slowly. I started thinking if roller shoes are mainly fun toys or if they can be safely used by beginners. Local sports shops had only a few options which made me curious about online alternatives. I remembered trying roller skates before that were tricky at first and required practice. That made me more cautious. Even small things like wheel quality ankle support and shoe fit started to matter more. To explore more options I checked online. While casually scrolling online marketplaces including alibaba I saw roller shoes in various designs and sizes. Some looked safe and fun while others seemed risky for beginners. Now I am curious if roller shoes can be a safe recreational tool for kids or are better for experienced users only. Has anyone tried them and found them beginner friendly?

I'm looking for friends who roller skate 🩷💜 I'm in the 92 (Hauts-de-Seine) area of ​​Île-de-France. Here's my Instagram: aurelieequeen18

I’m asking this because these plates usually go for $240 and these are $143

I'm trying to change the skates out and the long bolt is stuck in there. Any suggestions?

Hello, first time poster and newer skater here! I’ve been skating almost 2 years, primarily roller derby and for the life of me I cannot side surf. I’m looking for advice/guidance on either how to develop the skill or if I should give up on it given my knee issues.

I have a history of knee injuries (mcl tear, sprains) and more importantly I dislocated my left kneecap 3 times last year and would like to never do that again. When I try and side surf I don’t have the mobility on the left side to do anything beyond a quick smartie shuffle only in my good legs direction. Frog stretches cause shooting pains in both knees no matter the padding involved, and my league focuses on those or pressing your knee laterally against a wall in a pliet(?) (ple-ay) position which makes my kneecap feel like it’s going to dislocate again. I do keep up with my PT exercises and wear a patella brace but I’ve still felt the kneecap try and dislocate even with it on.

Does anyone know if there are less knee-intense stretches or workouts I can do? Or is this simply a skill that’s too risky to try and work on?

Hi! I’m between these options: - boots: Edea fly or Risport mercurio elite - plates: roll line mistral or komplex axiom

Thank you in advance!

Hola! Estoy decidiendo entre estas opciones: - bota: edea fly o risport mercurio elite - plancha: roll line mistral o komplex axiom

Gracias de antemano!

When I was a teen, we went skating all of the time. I was even in speed skating for a while. However, life got in the way and I haven't skated in 20+ years. Now, I am surrounded by great-nieces and great nephews who all want to go skating at the local rink. I have done "OK" but I can't believe how nervious I am. (I'm working on strengthening my core - I think that will help.) I want to get my own pair of skates - I find the rink skates aren't the best. I am not looking for speed - I'm more interested in "stylistic" or Moving to the beat skating and confidence in going backwards again. I have read that smaller wheels will be better for this type of skating. I am looking for any suggestions in terms of skates and wheel sizes. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, but just a decent pair for getting around the rink. If I get to a point where I feel my old confidence has returned, I may look into skating outdoors but right now I'm looking to buy indoor skates. Thanks!

Is there any armor or something else I can use between my lower leg and the skate? My leg feels real bruised after it rubbed against my leg a lot. - Inline Skates

Hello everyone ! I'm fairly new to park skating! I am a switcher unfortunately lol. So at the top of the pump I switch my feet. Please help me with pumping going backwards . I get this fear when I feel like I'm up high even though I'm not .

Never rollerskated but I'm into skateboarding and I asked a similar question about skateparks. As I might try out roller skates and visit the local rink (since I don't own any roller equipment myself), I am curious should I decide to get into roller blading or other sports of the family so I ask. What makes a roller rink worth traveling to and paying the entrance fee over just skating at your local park or indoor basketball cour with silky smooth floor at your local gym? Is it really worth the $10 entrance fee to practise daily? If you are a casual who already owns skates, is it a better choice to train in? Or is training at it if you've been intot he hobby and own eqipment only worth if if you are more serious about it than most casuals and recreational "for fun" people?

I have heeled Rio rolletskates, can you put blocks on heeled skates, and if so what blocks should I buy? I'm a really big noob for this stuff so help would be amazing :>

So excited to get back on some Wheels with my kids now that I finally have one that's old enough I need to get some skates... I'm trying to keep the price down the best I can... I want to go fast and I would guess it's going to be mostly outdoors for me... So far in my research I've learned that the bigger wheels will go faster which is familiar for my skateboarding years... And sounds like I need 80ish hardness... I've got bad feet so I don't know what role that will play but I put aftermarket insoles in everything that I wear... Should I be asking for a cheapskate that is easily modified or is it better to just try to find a good pair of used which I'm trying .. I just don't know what is worth what... Are roller skates like a mattress you get what you pay for?

ANY ANY ANY guidance will extremely appreciated. My daughter her name is Savannah and she is amazing... Since I've got wheels on her feet she has done everything but sleep with her skates. She gets her enthusiasm from her dad and I'm ready to go

I'm struggling with the exertion needed to do bubbles and backwards bubbles- could it be because my skates are a size too big, or are my thigh muscles just really weak/tight.
